continued from this thread ...some nice pics of my latest blades etc...
hmmm ... whats in here? .....

looks shiney ... my precious
these pics aren't the best ... it is hard to capture knives ...
unless you use a lightbox and quality camera ...
still I hope you get the general idea...
as I said in my previous thread ...
using 1075 and 15n20 stock to produce this pattern welded damascus
created by many twists and folds ... many hours work
the guard takes several extra processes to include the textured finish
it has mokume up front with nickel silver and bronze and fibre spacers
they lead to the Australian River Red Gum Burl handle
checkered butt for thumb grip (and looks)...spot the missing check..
I will re-do it
this pic doesn't really capture the beautiful flames of the forged to shape blade ...
but it really looks better when its in your hand as the light collects all the facets of the patterns...
for those who may wish to know the blade was hand rubbed for most of a day,on a super flat granite slab,
from 600 grit through to 2500 grit and then crocus paper and final light buff...
this gives it a real flashing type of effect due to being so mirror like on the bevels.
So sharp the hairs on my arm jumped off before the edge came near it .. heh heh heh
Thanks for looking ... comments welcome
cheers Jason
